Chapter 702: You Must Pay For Your Mistakes
Initially, she was worried that killing would be detrimental toward her son.
But after listening to that Young Master’s words, she knew that this was an absolutely perfect plan. Not only could she get someone else to do her dirty work, she could even destroy the Zhang family altogether!
She had no reason to refuse. Of course she was willing to do anything!
Moreover, the helpful Young Master also helped her to extend her life, so she could continue acting like a living person even though she was dead. She spent more than ten days observing the hours at which Zhang Yu and the girls met. During this period, her body kept changing, but n.o.body was aware of it except for Ah Ling.
Yet the person in front of her could guess that she was dead!?
In comparison to Old Lady w.a.n.g’s shock, Helian Wei Wei was as languid and calm as ever. “Old Lady w.a.n.g, do you really think that you are no different from the living? Your fingers have grown longer and turned black, not to mention the livor mortis on your face. These are symptoms that only appear after a person dies. You do not even feel the most basic of temperatures because you are a corpse, and you’ve been wearing the same clothes that you wore before you died.”
The more Old Lady w.a.n.g listened, the wider her eyes grew!
Helian Wei Wei continued indifferently, “It has been almost forty or fifty days since the end of autumn till now. w.a.n.g Ling is your son, it’s impossible for him not to know how dangerous you are and the things that you think about, yet he did not stop you. Or rather, he did not put much effort into stopping you because in his heart, he wanted those people dead as well.”
As she spoke, Helian Wei Wei set her gaze on w.a.n.g Ling.
At this point, w.a.n.g Ling no longer put up his facade of being simple-minded and decorous. He shouted, “All of them should go to h.e.l.l, what a shameless couple. Zhang Yu relies on his family’s power and might, Zhang Ling’er is a cheap wh*re, and those girls who have nothing except dollar signs in their eyes, these people simply do not deserve to live in this world!”
“If that’s the case, why do you dare to kill Zhang Ling’er, but not Zhang Yu?” Helian Wei Wei laughed sarcastically. “It’s clear that you’re still afraid of him. Someone else stole your fiancee, yet you were too scared to do anything, and instead all you do is rely on your mother to do everything for you. If you really are a true man, live up to it and let everyone see it! Look at yourself. You only know how to bully the weak. Are you going to kill every girl who looks down on you and refuses to marry you? You say that other people do not deserve to live in this world, but what about you? Such an irresponsible and lazy piece of trash like you seem to be living well, so why can’t others do the same?”
Everything that w.a.n.g Ling had said was shot down by Helian Wei Wei. His face was a shade of green, yet there was nothing he could say to disagree.
The word trash was like a slap straight to his face, piercing through all his pride.
w.a.n.g Ling clenched his fists and spat his words out one by one. “If I had been born in the Zhang family, I would have become a top scholar since long time ago. I would not even be like this now!”
Perhaps Old Lady w.a.n.g was shocked by the facts that Helian Wei Wei stated, or perhaps her son’s response was not what she had antic.i.p.ated. After all, her son had always disapproved of her doing such things, and he had even tried to stop her. However, she did not expect that the aura of resentment within her son’s heart was even stronger than hers. He…did not even want her as his mother.
Old Lady w.a.n.g’s hands fell limp. She never thought that her own son would think like this.
Helian Wei Wei’s smile grew colder. “People like you, even if you were to change your background, you would only be a second Zhang Yu. Your mother did so much, and for who? But you, you’re just an ingrate.”
Listening to the things Helian Wei Wei said, w.a.n.g Ling’s face turned red. He could see that his mother was obviously upset, and hurriedly explained, “Mother, that’s not what I meant…”
Old Lady w.a.n.g shook her head, tears sliding down her cheeks. “Son, I don’t blame you. You were right, if you had been born into the Zhang family, you wouldn’t be what you are today. I’m sorry, I don’t have the money to build connections and relations.h.i.+ps for you, I…”
Old Lady w.a.n.g’s voice cracked. She covered her face with one hand as her shoulders shook.
“Old Lady w.a.n.g, when will you stop making excuses for your son’s worthlessness?” Helian Wei Wei looked at her indifferently. “In fact, you know better than anyone why your son turned out like this, you also know that the things he does everyday is useless. He would be better off looking for a teaching position. Yet the people around him were already looking down on him, so you think that if you also gave up on him, he will definitely be extremely miserable. Which was why you kept deceiving yourself and others until now.”
Old Lady w.a.n.g did not say anything but cried harder.
Helian Wei Wei’s tone did not change. “You want to take revenge on everyone, you can do whatever you want to Zhang Ling’er and Zhang Yu. However, you wanted to kill those other girls just because they refused to marry your son. Old Lady w.a.n.g, you do not have a daughter. If someone treated your daughter like this, would you be fine with it? Stop thinking that only your children are children, and other people’s children are nothing. In this world, no one owes you anything.”
Helian Wei Wei’s last words made Old Lady w.a.n.g break down, and the ferocity on her face vanished. She begged, “I can tell you everything, but can you let my son live? He didn’t do anything, and even if he did think about it, those were just thoughts, he never hurt anyone. I was the one who sowed the seeds of evil, so I’m the one who should go to h.e.l.l.”
“Alright.” The look in Helian Wei Wei’s eyes remained unchanged. “But you will not be forgiven for your sins, and we will do all that should be done!”
Indeed, if it was not for the Zhang family who was constantly bullying others with their family’s status and power, if it were not for the offensive things that Old Lady Zhang had said back then, the tragedy would not have developed to this stage.
But this was not an excuse to kill innocent people.
Someone has to pay for the deaths of those young girls.
Old Lady w.a.n.g nodded, holding back her tears. “I know it’s all because of me, I’m sorry to the girls. All of them are children living on the same street. I don’t know what came over me, that I could be so cruel.”
Old Lady w.a.n.g cried even louder, her voice full of guilt and remorse. “They are in a secret pa.s.sage behind me. Liu’er is the only one still alive, the others are already…” She sobbed. “I’ve done wrong, I truly have made a mistake.”
Helian Wei Wei listened to Old Lady w.a.n.g, and after letting w.a.n.g Ling go, she strode over and reached her hand out. When she pulled the curtain away, it revealed three corpses dangling before her eyes.
Yan Liu’er was sitting in the middle of the group of corpses, and she was wearing a wedding gown. The color of the wedding gown was the same color as the blood flowing out of a human, which would make anyone very uncomfortable just by looking at it. Helian Wei Wei’s instinct told her that there was more to this wedding gown than meets the eye…
